IMPROVEMENT IN SCARF-RINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,362, dated April 1, 1873; application filed March 8, 1873.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that we, J our: HAAOK, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson .and State of New Jersey, and SAINTEMME DIOLO'J, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Scarf-Ring, of which the following is a specification Figure 1 is a side view of our invention; Fig. 2. a vertical section on the line 0 c of Fig. 3; and Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section on the line m :0, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of our invention is to supply to the public a scarf-ring which in a neat and efficient manner, attaches and closes securely to the scarf or other object, and ofi'ers the adtional advantage that, on account of the simple construction, the same can be furnished at a lower rate than those at present in the The invention consists of a broad band, round, oval, or otherwise, with abuckle hinged to it, which supports a hook-like pin entering, through a perforation, to the interior of the ring, and piercing the article to which it is applied, adhering securely thereto.

In the drawing, A represents the body of the .ring, made, preferably, of gold or other suitable material. A round wire, a, is laterally placed and rigidly applied to ring A, its ends projecting sidewise, to which is pivoted the buckle B. A slightlyslotted perforation, b, in ring A, a short distance from wire a, is for the admission and free play of the bucklepin, when inserted and Withdrawn.

The buckle B is placed across the outside of the ring, and has a hook-shaped pin, 01, rigidly applied to it centrally to the corners thereof, in such a manner that the upper dull end is bent over to the outer surface of the ring, the sharp end entering, through the perforation b, to the inner side thereof, piercing the scarf, neck-tie, handkerchief, or other object to which the ring is attached. Two projections, c, with rounded heads, are firmly applied to the corners of buckle B, and serve, on closing, as spring-like side attachments for the same, insuring a rigid connection of the pin with the object. The upper end of pin d appears, when buckle B is closed, as the tongue thereof.

WVhen thrown open it supports the buckle, its

pin end extending to the perforation a of the ring, so that it cannot injure the fingers.

The quick and easy application of the ring, the convenient attaching and detaching of the same by the mere turning of the buckle, and its simple construction-whichis not liable to get out of order, by avoiding the disadvantages incident to the hinge-connection of the whole ring-make it a desirable device, superior to those at present in use.

The face of the ring may be ornamented in any suitable manner, the buckle attachment Witnesses:
